We were already aware of Clare Smyth's plans to open a restaurant inside the new Admiralty Arch development next year, but it turns out she has something else planned too.
The chef, who has three Michelin stars at her Notting Hill restaurant Core, has revealed plans to open a new restaurant in Chelsea, called Corenucopia. She's billing the restaurant as being a "brand-new luxury bistro" but right now that's pretty much all the information we have about it. The space she's taking over used to be the short-lived Tabisca Italian steakhouse (and 1771 before that). If you went to the Chelsea Flower Show this year, there's a good chance you walked straight past it.
Right now, the minimal info about the restaurant has been put out there to help the chef recruit her kitchen team but now that everyone is talking about it, expect more details very soon. We'll update you as soon as we can.
